EXCITED IRELAND.
APPROVAL OF O'BRIEN's SENTENCE
CREATES UPROAR IN COURT.

The Editor Rcsists Arrest With All His
strengtil---Grea1 Excitement at Middle
ton---A Conflict Between the Mob and
Police Momentarily Expected.
DUBLIN, Nov. 1.-The appeal of Mr.
William O'Brien, editor Of United Ire
land, against the sentence Of three
months Imprisonment imposed on him
by the Mitchelstown court has been re-
fused and the sentence Of the lower court
confirmed. The charge of which Mr..
O'Brien was convicted was of using se-
ditious language under the crimes act
at National league meeting at Mitchels-
town.
When the decision of the court was an
nounced the spectators jumped up and
denounced the magistrate. An inde-
scribable uproar ensued, and many excit-
ing scenes were enacted. Mr.. O'Brien
was present, and after the court gave its
decision the people tried to prevent the
police from taking Mr.. C'Brien into
custody. z. Harrington, Mr.. O'Brien's
counsel, contended that the authorities
were not entitled to imprison his
client until the court CT last resort
had becn appealed to. A terrible
struggle took place in the court room and
passage leading from the court room be-
tween Mr.. O'Bren and the police. The
former resisted arrest and fought the
police with all his strength. The ladies
present added to the uproar with their
screams and several swooned away. Mr..
O'Brien was finally lodged in jail.
There was an immense crowd out
side the court building and the
news of the confirmation of Mr..
O'Brien's sentence and his arrest drove
the waiting multitude almost frantic
with rage. 1t is estimated that fully 3D.
900 people were assembled in and around
the courthouse. The greatest excite
ment prevails at Middleton. The people
are parading the streets denouncing the
outrrge and conflict between the mob
and the police is momentarily expected.
